CHAPTER III.
AT cHURCH-THE MooNLrT WALK.


Warren Stuart regarded the girl as a
commonplace mOrtas, and yet there
was something little more than COM
mon about her. He seldom saw her,
save at mealtime, when she came in to
wait upon the table. She knew a serv-
ants place, and kept it. She was mod
est almost to shyncss, and seldom spoke,
never unless compelled to do so. Com
mOnplace as he" supposed her to be, he
one day thought he discerned a poetic
sadness in the large, dark blue eye,
as she stood like one in a reverie. The
kitchen work at Stuart's was no very
small matter, and it required all her
time and energy to accomplish her
part. She was nearly always busy, and
frequently when he saw that sad worn
face, and tired little form. he felt a
sympathy for her.
One evening after the days work
was done, he was passing the kitchen
where Helen would insist on staying,
and heard her engaged in an animated
conversation with her brother. 1t was
a simple conversation such rs a child
might understand about Heaven. Lit
tie Amos was asking his sister II he
should DO relieved Of his iniirmties
there, and whether or not he would see
his mothos aud father The answers Of
the girl were low and sweet, assuring
the little cripple that he would suffer no
pain there. aud would meet those who
had gone before, Simple and common
place as the conversation was, II had
something about IL which affected War
gaa.

IL was Warren's intention 10 remain
at home during the summer, and early
In the fall seek location to enter into
the practice of his profession. 1t was
now the busy season for farmers, and
he did not meet many of his former
friends and acquaintance. The second
Sunday after his return was the day for
preaching in the Sandy Fork school
house. The Methodist had taken this
in one of their circuits, and sent
Rev. Allen Blaze, famous gospel
FOUNDER TO preach there once month.
The sChool-house was about three
fourths of mile from Mr.. Stuart's and
down the creek known rs Sandy Fork
1t was well hidden in the trees and the
road to it led through the forest. The
new preacher was very popular and his
audiences were always Mfg6:' ifSS1UT
unfrequently- the school-housc failed to
hold them and many stood outside at
the door and windows.
Peter Stair, the peddler, had been his
rounds and dropped in" ut the Stu
arts the night before the Sunday on
which Mr.. Blaze was to preach.
You'd better go'n hear him." said
Peter to Warren. Hes a regular
stOrmcr, l tell We. He can make
things blaze, too. His sermons are all
wool, handmade and warranted not to
fade. You can hear one on Sunday,
and it'll keep ringin' through yer
ears all the rest o. the week just like
one tune at a dance. Besides, some

1.-THE most dangerous savage foes we
have to fear" said Stan,:-', the ex-
plorer, are the crocodile, the hippopot-
anus and the buffalo. We lost five
men during my last visit 10 the Congo
from these animals; three were killed
by crccodiles, one by Appropriateness
and one by buffalo. There are large
numbers of the hippopotami along the
Congo and its tributaries, and thou
sands upon thousands of crocodiles.
The latter are by far the most insidious
foes we have because they are so silent
and so swift. You see man bathing
in the river" said Mr. Stanley, with
one of his graphic touches; ''he is
standing near the shore, laughing at
you, perhaps, laughing in the keen en-
joyment of his bath; suddenly he falls
over and you see him no more A croc-
odile has approached unseen, has
struck him blow with its tail that
knocks him over and he is instantly
seized and carried off. Or, it may be
that the man is swimming; ne is totally
unconscious Ofdanger; there is nothing
to stir tremor of apprehension; but
there, in deep water, under the shadow
of that rock, or hidden beneath the
shelter Of the tree yonder is huge
crocodile. 1t has spotted the swimmer,
and is watching its opportunity. The
swimmer approaches, he is seized by
the leg and dragged under and he
knows no more! A bubble or two in

TO MY WIFE.

Lucy, don't you hear the voices, gentle voices In
the air;
Like the waving OF pinion, like the painting OF
d prayer,
Like a song OF singers dead,
Like dream of beauty fed
When we can not quite remember what the
angel vision saidy
Oh, the voices of the Yesterdays! Times mel
ancholy choir,
With the twilight singing minor and the dawn.
ing singing air,

And their brOws with garlands bound,
And a million golden minutes strewn like grain
upon the ground.
All, they must be up the river, and it can not be
q dream,
For the wind is blowing soft, my love- is blow
ing down the stream,
And is waiting to your cars
What your list ming spiri: hears,
Till the past grows dim and DINNER through
the mist Of many years.
And a little form in white seems to rise beyond
the rain,
And a little hand to beckon and a little voice
complain,
TO your heart a moment pressed.
Then away to be guest,
And to sing among the Angels in the Gardens Of
the Blest.
For the little infant spirit that brighter angel
bore,
A dark angel challenged at the threshold OF the
door,
And he babe it back again,
AS returns the morning rain
To the heaven DER the mountain and the glory
DER the main.
In his arms the angels clasped her, and as he
turned and smiled
He crowned you there, the mother OF a snless
angel child
All, the beauty that she wore,
Borne so swiftly on before,
Just TO learn the Heaven for welcome" to that
bright and blessed shore!
But, Lucy, twill be by and by, when Junes have
followed June
And many a sad December night has played
solemn tune;
When the snow upon your hair
Forgets to melt and fingers there,
And form frail and faded trembles in the old
armchair.
Then here's my hand, my dearest well travel
on together
In days both clear and cloudy, in rude and
rainy weather;
Till the winter at the last
Shall the shadows eastward cast
And our lives and loves forever shall be blended
with the Past.

''Did we never see bird with a Grip
pied wing, and see how the poor little
thing tried to fly and couldn't? Well,
this child, good rs he is, holds down
that gal. Every cent she makes goes
to support herself an the child"
The breakfast bell rang, and Pete did
not complete his sentence.
That morning Warren noticed that the
eyes of the hired girl, who was sacrificing
herself for her crippled brother, were
very large and blue, and her forehead
was broad and high, and her features
were regular. She was neat and tidy, and
did not look at all like the sloven
kitchen girls he had seen. Her hair
was golden and neatly gathered in a
net. There was 4 sweet sadness upon
her face, which touched him not a lit
tie, when he remembered that all her
earnings barely supported herself and
her brother.

Warren consented TO 90, and the
next morning the horses were hitched
to the wagon, himself, his father and
mother and sister got in and drove of
to the school-house. The other two
boys went on horseback, preferring
gallop through the woods to the ease
and comfort of any wagon or carriage.
why, helloa! Warren, how are you?"
said Mr.. Arnold, the moment he
alightcd from the wagon in front of the
school-house. Mr.. Arnold dropped the
stick on which he was whiting to take
Warren's hand. He was man little
over medium height, somewhat slender,
with sandy hair and whiskers, which
were only on his chin, and cropped
short.
II suppose YOU have come back
among us full-hcdged doctor?' he
went on to say.
THAT remains to be seen, Mr.. Ar
mold" said Warren.
He was now surrounded by the old
men and young men of the neighbour
hood, each extending to him kindly
greeting.
Warren was sort of favorte in
the neighborhood, and all were glad to
see him back. Mrs. Arnold, and even
her daughter, Miss Halle, sprightly
little creature with somewhat flOrid
complexion and hair, and face con-
siderably freckled, came to him and
insisted so earnestly that he should 90
home with them for dinner that he
could not refuse. There was to be
preaching at night and he could go
home with his parents then, so after
the sermon was over he got into Mr..
Arnold's carriage and sat down by the
side of Miss Halle, whom he had known
since childhood. Miss Halle did her
best in her shallow way to entertain
him, but conversation on beaux and
dress has but little attraction for a
young man whose clothes still have the
college smell upon them.

impressive to our hero than the one in

word seemed like an arrow sent home

This was the weakest of follies, he
knew; but then we are weak creatures.
After finding it impossible to Eestnrs
the equanimity of his mind, he re
turned to the house. Now the dear old
farmhouse seemed doubly dear.
Had the question: beer asked Warren.
Stuart: care you in love with this
hired girl ?" he would undoubtedly
have answered: mo" though he was
willing to admit that she was beautiful,
good as an angel, and possessed the
most loveable qualities of any person
he had ever met. Yet there was GER
tain pride in his nature, which revolted
at the idea of his marrying hired girl.
This pride was not~deah, and would
have to be overcome before he could
be induced to propose marriage to
Helen but it was numbed and might
be worn down by any sudden torrent of
feeling.
The next morning he was feeling
dull and heavy. His brothers had long
been up, and were feeding and curry
ing their horses, while their breakfast
was preparing. The minister and his
wife were going to Newton that morn
ing and Warren was the person selected
to take them.

and got the permission to light his pipe,
was enjoying a smoke during the morn
ing ride.
The road to Newton was through
rich farming country. Sandy Fork
was the most fertile portion of the
State. On this delightful spring morn
ing every thing seemed fresh and lovely.
The whistle Of the plow-boy and songs
of the birds made the air melodlous.
The fields, lately plowed, were black in
the richness of their soil, the winter
wheat and oats made them look like
green canvas paintings. No picture
could express the loveliness Of the
morning, for here nearly all the senses
were permitted to drink in the glories
of natures loneliness.
